“If it happens that the human race doesn't make it, then the fact that we were here once will not be altered, that once upon a time we peopled this astonishing blue planet, and wondered intelligently at everything about it and the other things who lived here with us on it, and that we celebrated the beauty of it in music and art, architecture, literature, and dance, and that there were times when we approached something godlike in our abilities and aspirations. We emerged out of depthless mystery, and back into mystery we returned, and in the end the mystery is all there is.” ― James Howard Kunstler

I got an email and telephone call from Wells Fargo, my mortgage lender. They told me that if the world ends on Friday, December 21, 2012, they will forgive my first and second mortgages and I will owe nothing ($0.00)! Whoopp_dee_doo!

And I am not waiting until Friday to have some bacon, Mark. Waiter, make that double on the bacon and well done, please.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm just hoping my crutches won't be needed in the after life. Since they're metal, they'll probably get hot as hell. Oh well, wooden ones would just burn up. Perhaps my cowboy boots? Wonder if that'll be considered fashionable footwear for eternity?

Complacency is the enemy. Challenge yourself daily for maximum return on investment.

Will there be survivors or no? This is the end of the world, or an ordinary apocalypse? If the latter, may I please be transformed into a fabulous post-apocalyptic whore/courtesan looking like a morph of Tina Turner (circa Mad Max), Betty Page, Mata Hari and Su Xiaoxiao?

Did we ever determine what time zones the Mayans were referring too? I'm assuming it's central time? Cause it's the 21st in Singapore already and everything is fine there (well as fine as things can be in Saingapore).

We had warmup shows on the commuter train this evening. Someone cut a silent and extremely deadly fart. Meanwhile, by the doors, the local eccentric put on his cabaret show. He sings in a flat, nasal and piercing voice, usually show tunes or classic pop, in decent English. This evening he performed a sort of flag dance (with two long wool scarves) while he was singing. Then he segued into a piano bar vampy bit for two songs that he performed on his knees in the aisle. The patter between songs was about the end of the world.

Today Im reminded of another: There was a swanlike creature for years around midtown between 5th and Ave of the Americas twirling around sidewalks and traffic around MoMA. She wore "gowns" made of drying machine lint and duck tape and sometimes black garbage bags. Fitting couture for the end of the world.

It's supposed to start at 11:11 CST. At that time 99.99% of humanity will turn into zombies and only a few selected ones will remain alive.

"I have tried hard--but life is difficult, and I am a very useless person. I can hardly be said to have an independent existence. I was just a screw or a cog in the great machine I called life, and when I dropped out of it I found I was of no use anywhere else."

So I took my order to go and went back to the car hoping for another great tune. And I started eating my fries and they tasted like cardboard. Then Britney Spears and Will.i.am came on the radio with this crap:
